Tracey Fidler and Hayley Lindsay had their lives turned upside down on 13 February last year.

Their fiancées Kris Jarvis and John Morland were out cycling in Berkshire when they were hit and killed by a drunk driver.

Alexander Walters, from Purley-on-Thames, was over the drink-drive limit and had taken cocaine.

He was driving a stolen BMW when he lost control and hit the pair, and in April was sentenced to 10 years-and-three months in jail after admitting seven charges, including two of causing death by dangerous driving.

Tracey and Hayley are campaigning for stronger sentences, a campaign that brought them this week to the House of Commons.

It takes a difficult question to floor George Hollingbery, MP for Meon Valley in Hampshire.

I wouldn't like to suggest he has an answer for everything, just that he's someone who's thought about a wide range of issues, and has always been happy to tackle whatever I've thrown at him on the Sunday Politics.

You see an awful lot of tourists around Westminster. They pose for photos in front of Big Ben and queue to take the river buses. They spend a lot of money.

There are Germans, Scandinavians, a growing number nowadays from Korea and China. And sometimes you want to take them aside and quietly ask why they've not thought of travelling a bit further afield to see the real Britain away from the capital.

The Isle of Wight Conservative MP Andrew Turner must be wondering who else has got it in for him.

Independents have taken over the council. Private Eye magazine has been trawling through his old expenses. Even former Conservative colleagues compiled a dossier of allegations. That was rejected by the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner but the local newspaper is still demanding answers.
